"The focusing of attention on the breath is perhaps the most universal of the many hundreds of meditation subjects used worldwide."

Previous Quote

Your silence exists as does my self gathering. But so does the almost absolute silence of the world's dawning. In such suspension, before every utterance on earth, there is a cloud, an almost immobile air. The plants already breathe, while we still ask ourselves how to speak to each other, without taking breath away from them.

— Luce Irigaray
